clevis pin help

2 clevis pins for the top shock absorber brackets at the front ! If you don't have any do you know where i could get some from ? The only ones i can find locally are too small . I assume the diameter size to fit inside shock absorbers must be the same . I can find out exact length tomorrow night. But if anybody has a pair taken off a book Ron champion then they would definitely be the right length . Cheers !

I know older series Land-Rovers use clevis in the shock absorber mounts but you really should use bolts as any lost motion in the damper mounting will really have major effects on the handling.

I tried to use a bolt first but there is not enough room to get a long enough bolt through to have enough thread sticking out the other end to get a nut on unfortunately . So i suppose the alternatives would be to move the shock absorbed brackets to a more accesable position or use a clevis pin. So I've chosen the easier option.
